Don't Panic, We're From Poland!!! part 82 - 52UM

Robert Brylewski's latest project. Since 1978 he experimented with all forms of punk and reggae. This band is like culmination of his efforts. Great amalgam of postpunk with reggae/dub. In my opinion it's best album of 2008. You should check it.

Album was self released by band as limited digipack with additional CD with remixes and DVD with video clips. Now album is avaible as free download on band's site.
